I’m going away to leave love
I’m away for a while
But I’ll return to you sometime
If I go ten thousand miles
The storms are on the ocean
And the heavens may cease to be
This world may lose it’s motion love
If I probe false to thee
Oh, have you seen those mournful doves?
Flying from pine to pine
They’re mournig from their own true love
Just like I mourn for mine
The storms are on the ocean
And the heavens may cease to be
This world may lose it’s motion love
If I probe false to thee
I cry myself to sleep each night
Thinking only of you
I wonder if you’ll wait for me
To me are you still truth?
I’ll never go back to the ocean love
I’ll never go back on to sea
No never go back on this blue eyed girl
Say you’ll always love me
The storms are on the ocean
And the heavens may cease to be
This world may lose it’s motion love
If I probe false to thee
